Telangana Govt plans to file SLP in Supreme Court
The government is contemplating to file a special leave petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court seeking cancellation of judgment of the High Court scrapping the GO 16 meant for the regularisation of services of contract lecturers.
Hyderabad: The government is contemplating to file a special leave petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court seeking cancellation of judgment of the High Court scrapping the GO 16 meant for the regularisation of services of contract lecturers.
In this connection, an assurance is given to Telangana State Government Colleges Contract Lecturers Association (TSGCCLA) on Friday. President of TSGCCLA, G Ramana Reddy and general secretary Dr K Suresh met principal secretary Sivashankar and submitted a memorandum in this regard.
The principal secretary assured that government would consider filing SLP in Supreme Court. It may be noted that recently the High Court has scrapped GO No 16 issued for regularisation of services of contract lecturers working in government degree and junior colleges. Through the Act, the then TD government regularized services of contract lecturers working in government colleges before 1993.
The TD government banned the services of contract lecturers who were appointed after 1993. The TRS government has extended the provisions of the Act to 2014. According to the amendment, services of contract lecturers working till June 2014, would be regularised.
The first cabinet meeting of the TRS government adopted a resolution favouring regularisation of services of contract lecturers as per the promise it made during the elections.
However, the High Court recently struck down the amendment to Act 2, 1994 and said that regularisation of services was illegal. This halted the regularisation process of about 28,000 contract employees.
Speaking to The Hans India, general secretary of TSGCCLA, Dr K Suresh said that government should file an SLP in Supreme Court for scrapping of the High Court order. He said that the contract lecturers, who have worked for more than 15 years, would face financial and other hardships if their services are not regularised.
He said that they have also asked the government to implement the order hiking the basic pay of the contract lecturers. Leaders of the contract lecturers said that there were no court orders in the past banning regularization of contract employees’ services.
